After more than 20 years in the making, Chocolate Lizards will have its Abilene Premiere at the Paramount Theatre.
Be one of the very first audiences to screen the film alongside the author of the adapted book by the same name, screenwriter, director, producers, and cast members. The excitement of the night will include a short introduction by Jay Moore about the film’s history.
Erwin Vandeveer's (RUDY PANKOW) car breaks down while heading home to L.A. after getting fired from his first real acting job. Stranded in Buffalo Gap, Texas, Erwin meets colorful roughneck Merle Luskey (THOMAS HADEN CHURCH), who is about to lose his oil drilling operation in 30 days unless he can come up with the money to pay off his bank note. Two down-and-outers at the end of their ropes, Erwin and Merle join forces with Faye Brown (CARRIE-ANNE MOSS), the local cafe waitress, in an unlikely scheme to stave off disaster and try to hit an oil bonanza before Merle's time runs out. With a little comical cunning and even more luck, the three just may pull off a last-minute miracle.
